UK set to be pummelled by biblical rain storms next week, forecasters warn
The vast majority of the UK is set to be battered by biblical rainstorms in just six days time.
Brits have been battling a mixture of rain, sun, heat and cold all in the space of a just one week since October started. And now new satellite imagery from Met Desk's WX Charts – not associated with the Met Office – has shown that another onslaught of rainy weather will hit most of the country in the early hours of Friday morning.
The images show that from around 6am on Friday (October 13), every part of the country from Edinburgh down to London will be suffering from a deluge of rain estimated to be around 2.5mm per hour, with parts of the North West and Northern Ireland, as well as Plymouth, facing around three to four millimetres per hour. It will last until around midday, before heading up to the rest of Scotland, eventually leaving the UK as it heads off to the Netherlands.

And while the 24-hours after that are pretty calm and quite, Sunday (October 15) will see another barrage of similar proportions hitting our shores for another 24 hours until midday on Monday. This has been backed up by the Met Office's long-term weather forecast, which starts on Thursday (October 12) – with a possibility of frost predicted for some parts.
A spokesman said: “The rain is expected to spread northwards over the weekend, before showers become the prominent theme across much of the country, the heaviest and most frequent of these likely in the North West. Temperatures slightly below normal for the time of year, although it could remain mild in the South East, and some widespread overnight frost is possible under clearer skies.

“Some dry spells are possible towards the latter stages of the period, but a trend towards increasingly frequent spells of unsettled weather is more probable, which could produce generally wetter than average conditions across the UK from the around middle of the month onwards.”
